Maida and David are expecting their first child, a boy, very soon and it was such a pleasure shooting a maternity session with them. They made it so easy and everything went smoothly. Thanks to you both…and congratulations to the new parents!!!

Bianny & Emmanuel Married | Miami, FL

I love Miami weddings, mainly because it often involves two key ingredients to a successful wedding: love and fun. Love is obviously expected at a wedding, but more so when it’s a large family affair…you just know the family is tight and it shows in their expressions.

And so it was at Bianny and Emmanuel’s wedding. I met up with Bianny, the bride, at her parent’s house. Their home was absolutely gorgeous. Then, we jetted over to Sacred Heart Catholic Church…her in a Rolls, no less. Lucky girl! From there, it was on to Signature Gardens for the reception.

Now, believe me when I say Bianny and Emmanuel’s family can dance. Wow! I wish I could dance like that. Of course, if I could, it would be that much harder to document the event. Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t dance–you wouldn’t want that…trust me.

Thank you so much to Bianny and Emmanuel. You guys are great!

Judith & David Married | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Judith and David are such a lovely couple. When they told me they were getting married at the New River Inn, I was super excited because it’s such a quaint little building, one of the oldest in Fort Lauderdale. From what I hear, this unique historic location has just recently opened its doors to wedding events. A special thank you to Linda of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and the rest of the staff at the New River Inn!

One thing to look out for is the railroad track picture. Frankly, I’ve never been a huge fan of these, but I must, Judith and David made it work. You two were great!

Ken & Debbie Parents to Be | Davie, FL

Couple shoots are always a pleasure and Ken & Debbie were no exception. They were so easy going. Debbie works with my wife at Royal Caribbean and when her coworkers were looking for a unique gift for Debbie’s baby shower, they thought a very special portrait session would be perfect. Debbie’s an avid photographer herself and it was a pleasure to shoot some maternity and couple portraits of her and Ken.

Krysandra & Ivan Married | West Palm Beach, FL

This was one of those weddings I was looking forward to. Krysandra and Ivan were a fun couple during their engagement shoot and I loved how their guest book turned out. So, when last Saturday rolled around, I couldn’t wait to get out there and enjoy their ceremony. I sure wasn’t disappointed.

The day was beautiful; you couldn’t get it more perfect. The wedding party was probably the largest I’d done before: 8 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids, all really cool as could be. And you could tell there was genuine love in both families. Not to be outdone, both Ivan and Krysandra delivered very moving vows, so much so that everyone was laughing and crying throughout the ceremony.

Thanks to Brigette and the entire staff at Ironhorse Country Club, to mix master George, and Bash Event Group for helping put on a terrific event.
